In 2017, 2/90 Sign Systems developed SafeCare, with the guidance of The New York State Office of Mental Health, a groundbreaking signage system specifically designed for behavioral health environments. SafeCare signs are made of durable polycarbonate material that prevents breakage and can’t be used as weapons. The signs feature soft round corners and beveled sides, eliminating sharp edges that could harm patients. Tamper-resistant fasteners and adhesive secure the signs to the wall, preventing tampering.
Caro Psychiatric Hospital in Caro, Michigan, faced the challenge of implementing a wayfinding solution that would ensure patient safety while effectively guiding patients, staff, and visitors through their new 100-bed facility with four wings. They needed a signage system that could adapt to their unique behavioral health environment and provide clear differentiation between various areas.
